1253 Fishing



Chu Yue was given order when she was still in Xia Mountain's area. Nan Hua would stop following Nan Luo's army, so she was asked to meet Nan Hua on her way to Da Yi City. After estimating the location, she departed right away.

It took her some time to notice the group of soldiers and then noticed that Nan Hua was there.

That silver mask was quite eye catching even from a distance away.

"Set up the tent, Xiao Chu."

Chu Yue was stunned with the new name given to her. But then again, her name would reveal her gender right away, so she solemnly nodded. "Yes, Master."

Long Qian Xing looked at Chu Yue and browsed the names of the few maidservants around Nan Hua. He recalled that there was indeed someone with the same surname of Chu who used to follow Nan Hua.

This one should be her.

He turned to look at Nan Hua. "Shall we go?"

"Yes."

The two of them went to the river and by this time, many of the soldiers were already rushing to the river. They naturally would not pass the chance to eat different dishes. After being tortured by eating those tasteless ration, they naturally wanted to eat a different dish that could satisfy their tongue.

Splash!

"Hahaha! I got one!"

"Damn you, stop splashing water!"

"My fish! Why did you jump back to the river?"

The soldiers were clamoring among themselves, laughing and talking with each other. Rather than fishing seriously, they looked like they were just enjoying themselves while fishing.

Nan Hua looked in their direction and then looked around before picking a relatively empty area.

There was no need to stay with those rowdy soldiers.

Long Qian Xing walked with Nan Hua and also stopped not far from her. He saw her glancing in his direction as if asking why he followed her.

"Those boys wouldn't be able to have fun if I'm around."

Thinking that Long Qian Xing is their superior and also someone from the noble families, it was indeed hard for them to have fun around him. Though, Nan Hua was sure that Long Qian Xing was not that stuck up around his men.

There was no way he could keep up a stinky face all the time when he was with his comrades whom he had good relationship with.

"Are you going to use fishing stick?" Long Qian Xing asked. They naturally didn't have one, but he could make it. There were some bamboos at the edge of the river not far from where they were. As for the rope, they could make do with something else.

"No."

Nan Hua felt that fishing with fishing stick was a waste of time. Some people enjoyed it and liked it more because they could fish in the deeper area. But for her, the waiting was simply not worth it.

She would rather use an easier and simpler methods that was more in line with her.

Taking a stick, Nan Hua then used her dagger to make the tip sharp and weighted it with her hand for a while before walking to the river. Long Qian Xing watched Nan Hua's action and simply took out his sword to make a simple spear too.

The other soldiers watched the two of them when they noticed that their commander was not with them.

"Does General Xing planning on competing with that adjutant?"

"Really? The last time we compete with General Xing, we all lose and had to train twice as much for a week." One soldier shivered when he thought of those harsh training that was imposed on them.

Not a single one of them liked to have more training. In their opinion, it was already more than enough that they were tortured so badly in the past when Long Qian Xing felt that their performance was not up to par.

"Let's catch more fishes. We can also ask the chefs to dry it so that we can eat more fish tomorrow."

"Good idea."

The so called chef was actually also soldiers who were in charge of cooking their daily meals. After all, there was no way that there wouldn't be anyone in the army who was responsible for other matter but fighting.

They also needed doctor, chef, logistic support, and so on. While the form was relatively simple, they all have their own roles in the battlefield.

Splash! Jleb!

As a fish passed by, Nan Hua's hand moved and stabbed the fish easily. Her hand and eye coordination was really good, so it was not a problem for her to catch a few fishes. She had already done this a few times in the past.

"You're good." Long Qian Xing was stunned when he saw how Nan Hua easily caught one. He had only finished making his spear and entered the river.

The river was relatively shallow, only reaching his knees. It was not that hard for him to look for fishes in this way.

Nan Hua nodded and silently moved to look at the other areas. Her hand took out the fish and threw it to the bucket Long Qian Xing had prepared.

She was also calculating within her mind because she knew that the water will cause a shift in the fish's real position because of light diversion. She had to calculate a bit to ensure that she knew the fish real position and not the position it was shown in her eyes.

It was not that difficult after a few tries in the past.

Splash! Jleb!

At this time, Long Qian Xing had already caught a fish. He himself had no problem with his eye and hand coordination. The spear might be somewhat fragile because it was made temporarily, but it should hold on to catch a few fishes.

Splash! Jleb!

Splash!

The sound of the two of them catching fishes easily made the soldiers doubt their lives.

They looked at the few fishes they managed to catch with difficulties and then at the two buckets that belonged to Long Qian Xing and Adjutant Nan.

Comparison is really painful!
